Senior DS official Dragoljub Micunovic says the state and politicians have to distance themselves from big businessmen. He said that it was well known that local tycoons had created monopolies and built their fortune on political privileges. "State must steer clear of tycoons" “They are a political, not an economic, product. It would be dangerous if they now believed they could become a decisive factor that can influence politics,“ said the chairman of the Democratic Party (DS) Political Council in an interview to Belgrade daily Blic on Wednesday. Micunovic underlined that since the tycoons in Serbia were a “political product”, it was politics itself that could make them disappear as a political factor. "We have a couple of tycoons that have bought up a big section of Serbia and that have certain monopolies that are based on the privileges they gained in the privatization process, which was neither completely clean or a completely just business. None of them, not even (Milorad) Miskovic, (Bogoljub) Karic or anyone else, have succeeded in becoming big businessmen thanks to market competition, but rather owing to the fact that they enjoyed the support of the state, which was the owner of everything, and the privileges the state gave them,” he pointed out.
